Newest Canadian Apple Store draws hundreds
Here's a local report from Newmarket, Ontario in Canada, where Apple opened up a brand new store at the Upper Canada Mall over the weekend. Apparently hundreds of people were in line for the opening on Saturday morning, trying to get the iPhone 4 as well as all of the new iPod devices. Everybody involved sounds pretty happy, from the people who got in line starting at 4:30am, to the manager of the new store and the landlord in the mall itself. Then again, maybe that's their Canadian friendliness coming through.
Good for Newmarket -- Toronto was one of the closest stores to the town, but now the folks up there will have to travel 60 fewer kilometers to get their Apple fix. Congrats on the new store, eh?

In fairness to those wondering why it's there. The Aurora/Newmarket area has a lot of money in it. Sure, it's the suburbs, but lots of folks work in the city, particularly execs that make their homes there. Housing prices are sky high there.
It's a good business decision and the mall is a big one with lots of traffic.
A new Apple Store in Italy too... next 18 september|

Actually Ottawa is Silicon north. Google it.
Apple does have a engineering facility in Ottawa. I used to work there developing Filemaker and Bento for the Mac/windows and iOS devices. And I still have lots of friends still working there.
Really? Did they get the jobs through the US website or can you actually talk to someone from Ottawa about working there?
Do tell.
And Quebec city? Was supposed to open in August but still no news...

'Just a matter of time.
Boo! That mango has spoiled.
There are thousands of us bro.
I can not BELIEVE that Newmarket got an Apple store....population just doesn't seem to jive with that.
As mentioned, there are other more populous areas that are still lacking....helllllloooo, Oshawa/Whitby/Ajax anyone?
(Yes, I know that the 404/404 location isn't that far..but if (still in disbelief!) NEWMARKET (!!) can get one, surely we can out in the east end?
I'd love to see one at the Oshawa Centre : D
